The pause on dispersement of all federal grants doesnt just impact NEW grants not yet awarded. It applies also to grants already awarded & under contract, funds people are legally entitled to and counting on to make payroll. That's illegal & must be halted immediately. Courts must enforce the law.🔌💡

W/ govt spending data, I always expect some manual cleaning/categorization, but this is super useful - thanks for sending!

(And sorry for being the portal party pooper... but to your point, a miracle it lasted this long)

Excellent piece!

Logistics question here: in your research, did you come across a third party dataset or site that cleanly tracks DoD grants over time?

Was hoping DoD climate resilience portal had that information but it's unfortunately now down :/

100% agree.

I'm no policy expert, but the advantage of traditionally Dem ideas (civil rights, climate, safety nets, etc) is that in the end, these ideas should win out and Dems can say "we told you so - trust us." But the prereq is standing by those ideas or risk countermsging of Dem hypocrisy.

Fwiw, it's the best all-in-one webinar I watch every year, and I'm thrilled my former employer is shining a light on emergent energy needs, even if he's overly focused on Nuclear.

Fwiw, Apple Podcasts app automatically offers this. Not always perfect but does the job.

Fwiw2, I started building something that makes convos from the climate pod ecosystem queryable because yours and a handful of other podcasts were so dang useful for me in shifting to climate work - thanks!

Terrific! Much appreciated, Farshad. Will be on the lookout for others similar to this in dif geos
